How long will u keep your C6?
Many, many years for me, here's why:
Bought my C5 the same year the C6 was introduced.
Bought my C6 the same year the C7 is introduced.
Never ever needed the latest model or gadget when it first comes out.
Absolutely love the widebody C6, looks fresh & modern.
Need a killer deal, so if there comes a widebody C7 many years down the road I'll get it when the C8 is introduced...
How about you??

Until the third model year of the C7 is available.

The 05 I presently have ? A long time for me. It doesn't even have
10k miles on it. It looks showroom new & runs the same. Why spend thousands more if you don't need to? I've had 2 C5's previously. I don't like the new C7 at all. It will take me years to put 50-60 or thousand miles on it as well. Plus it's another Vert for me!!!

I have owned my 2008 since new so after 5 wonderful years, I am looking. Not sure if it will be another Vette, just in that phase to see if there is something that makes me want to spend the bucks.

My 2011 is paid for, has 7k miles, and a extended warranty till 2019. I will be keeping mine for the foreseeable future...unless I win the lottery.

I'll keep this one forever. It was one of my father-in-law's vettes before he passed away unexpectedly. Vettes were one of his passions. Lots of sentimental value to this one for my wife, and to me as well since he was more a a father to me than my own dad.
That does not mean that I may not buy a second or third one myself down the road...

I'll keep mine for a long while. Had my '03 coupe for ten years and wanted the wide body ever since it came out. Decided to trade it in on a '13 GS as the deals are outstanding right now. Also, the C7 just doesn't do it for me, inside or out. That may change with time but I doubt it. The C6 is a beautiful looking and performing vehicle.

The only way I'd step up to another new one( mines a 2013 coupe) would be if they ever come out with a real hard top convertable.But I doubt we'll see it because of the weight..Never say never thought right?

If I was smart, I would keep my DD '12 SSB Coupe a very long time! I bought it new in Oct. '12, got a great deal on it and am really enjoying the car. With that said, I am not very smart and will probably go for a C7 Convertible as soon as I am able to financially.
I am on my 31st. Corvette now....so why stop?

Till I can get a 2-3 year old C7-Z06
So 5 or 6 years I guess. I just got mine a few weeks ago and only have 15k miles so it's not as big of a deal for me.
I should also probably do something stupid like buy a house instead of my current status of 3 motorcycles and 2 cars.
